Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) vs. MongoDB Atlas vs. Stratoscale Enterprise Database Platform (Chorus)

AWS Document DB (with MongoDB compatibility) is well suited when for all the workloads due to its huge feature offerings which will reduce our operational overhead and due to that we can focus more on our WorkLoad rather than optimising and fine tuning Databases. Its Offerings are Advanced Monitoring, DB cluster Upgrades, Migration Assistant, High Availability, Fault Tolerance, Data Durability, Security, Storage Auto Scaling, Backup Restore policies.AWS Document DB (with MongoDB compatibility) some of the features that are there in some other services like MongoDB Atlas that offers vast amount of features plus Supports Multi Cloud while Deploying Database clusters, Immediate support to latest Mongo DB versions, Mobile & Edge Sync like Atlas Edge Sync, Freedom to choose Database deployment in Any top Public Cloud, Having more then 100 plus Monitoring and Telemetry metrics for index and schema recommendations, More Compatibility with MongoDB queries.

It is good if you: 1. Have unstructured data that you need to save (since it is NoSQL DB) 2. You don't have time or knowledge to setup the MongoDB Atlas, the managed service is the way to go (Atlas) 3. If you need a multi regional DB across the world

• Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) provides Auto scaling of cluster as a by default functionality through this we can focus on more on our applications end
• Through AWS Document DB without much operation overhead we can configure for Database's high availability, Durability, Backup Restores policies, Advanced Monitoring, Security Parameters.
• Also they can provide us a Guide for Database Migration from any Supported Mongo DB vendor to AWS Document DB.
• Via AWS Document DB query Logging ( Profiling ) we can fine tune our database queries and hence improving our END to END Customer Experience and Product Enhancements.

Incentivized

• Generous free and trial plan for evaluation or test purposes.
• New versions of MongoDB are able to be deployed with Atlas as soon as they're released—deploying recent versions to other services can be difficult or risky.
• As the key supporters of the open source MongoDB project, the service runs in a highly optimized and performant manner, making it much easier than having to do the work internally.

Incentivized

• Give support for Latest Mongo DB versions available in market
• AWS Document DB is limited up to 32 shards per cluster and 2 shards per Document DB instance and all within single region
• Start supporting more numbers of Rich data types
• Should have access to MongoDB experts who throw light on Cutting edge mongoDB features and integration consulting.

Incentivized

• For someone new, it could be challenging using MongoDB Atlas. Some official video tutorials could help a lot
• Pricing calculation is sometimes misleading and unpredictable, maybe better variables could be used to provide better insights about the cost
• Since it is a managed service, we have limited control over the instances and some issues we faced we couldn't;'t know about without reaching out to the support and got fixed from their end. So more control over the instance might help
• The way of managing users and access is somehow confusing. Maybe it could be placed somewhere easy to access

I would give it 8. Good stuff: 1. Easy to use in terms of creating cluster, integrating with Databases, setting up backups and high availability instance, using the monitors they provide to check cluster status, managing users at company level, configure multiple replicas and cross region databases. Things hard to use: 1. roles and permissions at DB level. 2. Calculate expected costs

We love MongoDB support and have great relationship with them. When we decided to go with MongoDB Atlas, they sent a team of 5 to our company to discuss the process of setting up a Mongo cluster and walked us through. when we have questions, we create a ticket and they will respond very quickly

MongoDB is a great product but on premise deployments can be slow. So we turned to Atlas. We also looked at Redis Labs and we use Redis as our side cache for app servers. But we love using MongoDB Atlas for cloud deployments, especially for prototyping because we can get started immediately. And the cost is low and easy to justify.

Incentivized

• Great Customer Experience as DB queries are fine tuned
• Less Operational Overhead to manage and take care of the Database
• Automatic applying of Small patches

Incentivized

• Positive - Faster provisioning so we don't have development teams waiting.
• Positive - Automated backups and server management - eliminates need for dedicated DBAs.
